Please note that bead size and quantity per strand may vary slightly due to the natural material and handmade measuring process.
The geometric shape gives these Obsidian beads a more structured look than standard rounds. The smaller scale is useful for slim bracelets, delicate necklace sections, and spacing around larger focal beads. The smooth finish makes the strand practical for everyday jewelry that needs comfort and clean movement.
The strength of obsidian in design is its contrast: it works well with metal, clear stones, warm browns, and bold color accents. The Natural Color finish leaves room for natural differences between beads, which is often exactly what makes a handmade piece feel thoughtful.
